In one of today&#39;s AJC blog posts, it was mentioned that the three things he worked on over the summer were ball handling, making better decisions on the court and yes, midrange shooting.<br /><br />http://blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2010/09/27/atlanta-hawks-media-day-musings/?cxntfid=blogs_hawksapizzabagelhttp://openid.aol.com/apizzabagelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-61253191412848224422010-09-27T14:34:47.284-04:002010-09-27T14:34:47.284-04:00NBA&#39;s clearly trying to be more MLB-like in it...NBA&#39;s clearly trying to be more MLB-like in its &quot;don&#39;t show up the ump/ref&quot; business.<br /><br />Honestly, the hysterics from players has gone over the top. It needs to stop. Is this a reaction too far in the opposite direction? Probably, but its better than seeing a ref surrounded by 3-4 players pleading their case, acting as if they&#39;ve never done anything wrong ever.jrauchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064708627368143691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-3225091773930994662010-09-24T23:34:10.693-04:002010-09-24T23:34:10.693-04:00Ugh, really?

Somebody is going to have a two point lead late in the fourth, an official is going to make a questionable call, a player is going to shout, &quot;No!&quot;, then he&#39;s going to get whistled for a tech, giving the opposition three free throws and the ball based mostly off of poor officiating.<br /><br />Let&#39;s face it, there&#39;s already plenty of questionable calls in the paint over the course of the season. This new emphasis has the possibility of making bad calls even worse.Bronnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11706422637764110117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-3924877322817393312010-09-24T12:59:45.254-04:002010-09-24T12:59:45.254-04:00Watch a few coaches get some of this nonsense too....Watch a few coaches get some of this nonsense too...Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508611082167589354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-38739262684537854362010-09-24T10:32:12.086-04:002010-09-24T10:32:12.086-04:00&quot;In addition, referees have been instructed t...&quot;In addition, referees have been instructed to consider calling technicals on players who use body language to question or demonstrate displeasure, or say things like, &#39;Come on!&#39;&quot;<br /><br />This is just ridiculous...samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14630689984969909245noreply@blogger.com
